Purdue announced earlier Monday that Matt Haarms is entering the transfer portal, and the7'3" center disclosed to ESPN's Jeff Borzello that 25 schools have already reached out to him:
"Just believe I needed a change of scenery to take my game to the next level," Haarms told Borzello, "don't have anything but positive things to say about Purdue, but I just felt like it was time to move on."
According to Stadium's Jeff Goodman, "Purdue was blindsided" by Haarms' desire to transfer.
The center will be a graduate transfer, per Borzello, granting him immediate eligibility next season.
